Wednesdays Question

It's Wednesday so that means it's question time. It's time to ponder and then answer just one question. Okay, you can add all you want as a reason for your answer too. We'd all like that.

So here's this weeks question: What are your plans for Thanksgiving? If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving what is your plans for your next holiday?

Hubby and I no longer host Thanksgiving for our family. We've been doing so for many years and the last couple we've ask for more help. No one lifted a finger so we're done. I love my family, but they figure we can do all the work and the clean up too. We're going to have a quiet dinner for two. Very simple and not much work.

MotherDear still wants to do the big traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings and so we shall. I will do all of the veggies and sides prep and chopping for her, as I have for several years now. She prefers to do it all herself as she always had in years past but turning 80 has forced her into make some concessions these days. Like naps. Bless her heart.

You and Zane will enjoy your intimate dinner with no muss and no fuss!

We celebrated Thanksgiving the first year we were in New Zealand. Since it's spring, none of the fresh veggies are right, and it's only American's who buy turkey this time of year, so it was $65 and there were no left overs. We are not celebrating it this year. :)

We were supposed to host, but my SIL is throwing a fit about it (she's not my biggest fan...and always the source of our predictable holiday drama ;) ), so we may end up at the in-laws. We have all the food already, so it'll make things easier on my MIL if we go there. :)

I used to go to a friend's house who didn't like turkey and didn't cook etc. SO, this year I am staying home and cooking my own turkey and the fixings. I cannot wait. I will have lots of company in the form of furry kitties and one dog.Not to worry, they won't get turkey which is not good for them. You have a wonderful Thanksgiving Sandee. That sounds like a great way to do it. Take care.

For many years I had a huge dinner for all my kids, then a divorce and for a while my new hubs would go to my daughters, but he is not a fan of being away from home (as we traveled) his FB game is all he want and so we stay home and like you will be having a dinner for 2.

Our son and his wife and our grandson well be joining us at our house. With the little woman on "Light Duty" for 6 weeks I'll be doing most of the cooking. I'll have the best cook I know there to supervise. I actually look forward to it ... go figure. c-)

I think I ran across this question here already or I'm losing what's left of my mind. Either way, here goes. We did a big Thanksgiving at our house for years, but this year it's going to be on a smaller scale. Nuclear family. I'm just not feeling like doing up a big production. I'll be glad when I see the tail end of 2013.

Sandy, i'm sorry your family behaved that way. We go to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and we bring some food, and Grandma cooks stuff in the days before so it's all ready, and my brothers bring stuff, and everyone helps cook and clean after. It's a family time.

I was considering going out for dinner because I have one day off for Thanksgiving and I always end up doing all the cooking and the cleaning. My daughter didn't like the idea of not having our house to come to for dinner so she said she would do it all. If she doesn't stick to her word and do the clean up afterwards, next year I will go out

Since we moved down here we've had TDay with frineds who have included us with their family- this year tho' we're branching out and having some new friends over- and since they really don't like turkey- what the heck we'll have a little ham.....why not! I do miss having the kids with us- maybe next year we will rent a nice place up north and cook up a storm with all of us together! Have a great time with Zane and Little Bit!

Not sure yet. I know we are staying home. I ordered a fresh turkey from the milkman. It arrives on Wenesday. I'm supposed to take it easy, so cooking a HUGE dinner isn't what I need to do. Someone suggested the Thanksgiving buffet at the swanky casino up the road. We might do that. I'll just cook the turkey for a regular meal (or just purchase the sides). I'd like to drive up to Canada to get some meds i can't get here.But that may get usurped for working on stuff at home that I talked about on my lastest blog post.

We don't have thanksgiving here in Australia but I am more than willing to eat lots of chocolate & ice cream in celebratory support of all my American blogging/cartooning buddys.Have you seen this awesome Thanksgiving movie called Free Birds??? Here's a link to the trailer. It's hilarious.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkietItjNc
